AbstractThe study proposes to analyze the legal concept of the right to the city that needs to be better developed and consolidated, in the field of law, especially urban law. This analysis considers the human rights approach at the international level, the constitutional norms on urban policy and the treatment of the Cities Statute. For the development of this concept, an approach is taken on the terminological meaning of sustainable cities, and cities (especially in their territorial dimension) that integrate the definition of the right to the city in the Cities Statute. The question of ownership of the right to the city is considered as essential for understanding the legal notion of this right; as well as about the legal good that should be protected, based on the understanding of the city as a common good whose components for that qualification are: the city: free of any form of discrimination; with inclusive citizenship, with greater political participation; which fulfills its social functions; with quality public spaces; with gender equality; with cultural diversity, with inclusive economies, such as a common settlement system and ecosystem.
